Volunterism
Visited Dover Park Hospice today and I really went in with my heart burdened. Visiting the hospice for me is like visiting the hospital....a lot of sick people and suffering.....That is why sometimes I shun away from the hospital cos it really brings me down......
but today was really an eyeopener...the fact that people in their dying days have such a positive outlook makes me wanna kick myself.......people in wheelchair, blind what not clapping their hands, dance, sing is simply amazing.....You learn things in life that will stay with you forever....and today is one of those where I have learnt that there is always a bright side to everything....and I was taught by people who have only 3 months to live....definitely a humbling experience.....
everyone who is fit and able should embrace the spirit of volunterism...not only does it make you a better person but you will also be able to make a difference in person's life.........
it is always better to give than to receive
